Announcing the new route OK! magazine, Ben said: ‘Olympia, or, as we call her, Pia, is her mother’s double. I’m incredibly lucky.’

Jackie explained that she ended up having a planned C-section with Olympia, because she was diagnosed with cholestasis during the pregnancy.

She said: “I could barely move towards the end so I was happy to have her out.” She limped because she had tendinitis in her hip. “Plus, it was really itchy, especially at night, so I couldn’t sleep.”

“I tried to wait as long as possible, but the doctors told me that January 9 was the furthest I could go. Looking back, I’m glad I didn’t wait any longer. She weighed 8 pounds, 3 ounces; if we had let her to come to term, they said she would have weighed more than 10 pounds!’

Tragically, Jackie also told the publication how she and Ben struggled to have Olympia, revealing: “We also had three miscarriages before Olympia. We started trying to get pregnant around August 2022, then tried again in November, then in March 2023 and then in April 2023 with Olympia.
